Hi, im currently looking at buying a gaming laptop for under about £900($1400). I think i have narrowed it down to two laptops.
1) Lenovo Y50 Ideapad-http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y50/#tab-techical_specifications
2) ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 -http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T7XRH2A/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00T7XRH2A&linkCode=as2&tag=topt01a-20&linkId=IQCUPNIWOVXV2VUF

What im not sure about is the difference video ram! If i purchase a laptop which's video card only has 2GB will i see it run out in the next year as games become harder to run?

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Felix.

Rarely does the 2 or more GB matters.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-960M-Review.137893.0.html finds a sea of green. The folk that squawk the most seem to be those that want all games on Ultra.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-860M.107794.0.html shows a little less green. Assasin's Creed is already in the red at less than Ultra.

Winner? 960m.
